From the first page to the last, Stephan’s depth of knowledge and hands-on experience is unmistakable—few could match the number of kilometres he has travelled across the Simpson.

With over 15 years of desert travel behind him along with 20 odd crossings of the Simpson Desert there would be few people more qualified to write a guidebook on travelling the Simpson Desert than Stephan Fischer.
